Characters and monsters (or both) have a little extra creepy added to them when they have longer than average fingers. They don't even have to be foot long, the Uncanny Valley can make even just slightly longer fingers off putting. This is one reason Femme Fatalons which lengthen the apparent size of fingers can invoke this effect, as can actual claws.

These characters are likely to use their big hands in subtle or overt expressive ways, and comparisons to skeletons and spiders are common. They'll usually gesticulate with surgeon like precision or herky-jerky motions. Outright inhuman creepy long fingers may have extra knuckles or Freddy Krueger style finger attachments that can double as weapons.

The one big drawback to using this this trope in live action media is that human actors are unlikely to be able to handle extra knuckles or delicate motions, which is why animatronics and CGI fare better. Actors with these finger extensions are usually limited in their range of hand motions, being unable to make a fist, wield guns or more generally grasp thin objects.

Most designs for the aliens from the Alien series give the extraterrestrial monsters long, clawed fingers. Some go so far as to make them more than a foot long.

The Bennnings-Thing in John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is also "creepy misformed fingers", but they're clearly playing off the horror this trope provides when his hands are revealed. The poster of the 2011 prequel also utilizes it.

Bored of the Rings, a parody of The Lord of the Rings. Boggies (hobbits) "have long, clever fingers of the sort one normally associates with hands that spend a good deal of time around the necks of small, furry animals and in other people's pockets..."

In Harry Potter Lord Voldemort reborn is said to have long, thin fingers. His hands are compared to "giant pale spiders" several times in the series.

Interestingly, the subservient and almost completely harmless House Elves are often described as having long-fingers as well.

In Galaxy of Fear the two Shi'ido are described as having abnormally long fingers while in their humanoid default forms. The Big Bad certainly has creepy aspects, and even Hoole starts off a little ambiguous.

Yuuzhan Vong shapers are sometimes presented this way, especially Nen Yim, who shows up more than once on book covers with her abnormally-long hands. For extra Mad Scientist cred, shapers' hands are implants (they chop off the originals in a religious ceremony) that are equipped with various tools such as blades, pincers, and exotic sensory apparatuses to help in their work.

Eugene Victor Tooms from The X-Files episodes "Squeeze" and "Tooms" can elongate his body, including fingers, which he demonstrates when squeezing himself through a chimney into someone's house to murder them (as pictured atop this article). Bonus points for the creepily long fingerprints.

Some subspecies (like Stalkers◊) of the Necromorphs from Dead Space have elongated, clawed fingers along with the rest of their mutations.

Ultimecia inhabiting Edea 's body in Final Fantasy VIII has either this or Femme Fatalons covered by long-fingered gloves, it's hard to tell. When we see normal Edea in her normal outfit, the camera doesn't pay any extra attention to her hands.

The Slender Man, when given arms and hands, is sometimes shown with these. Though that brings up the question of if they're fingers at all, or just its Combat Tentacles taking the appearance of fingers...

Goblins Mr. Fingers is a living incarnation of this trope. That's all he is, fingers, and you don't want him anywhere near you

Aurra Sing in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Along with chalk white skin, a bald head with a single tail of hair, and an antenna protruding from that same bald head. It's never explained of what species exactly she is.
